Actually, after 1 or 2, many of the robot masters were actually design submissions by japanese children. 6 was the first to feature RM designs from north american kids.
So yea, blame your kids for being failures at design.

Mega Man 2 and 3 are tied for BEST MEGA MAN EVAR. This YTMND, though effectively hitting the "nostalgia" button, is not really that good. I'd give it 2 stars but you got downvoted by dabest so you get 3.

I actually enjoyed the X series growing up. I think I just barely missed the NES megaman games when I started playing video games. I was too young to care about the storylines or whatever anyways, but the games were fun.
BTW, dust man? I hope thats more intimidating in Japan than it is here...

MM2 is hardly the best in the classic series, and I know I'm going to catch major **** for saying this, but visit my topic on GameFAQ's at http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=204&topic=34221552
I personally think that 5>4>6>2>3>1, and also think that most people like MM2 the best for very good, valid reasons; but nostalgia can also blind people.

for all intents and purposes megaman and bass was just 9
also I was just realizing today that none of the originals are really left .. all that's left are spinoffs ... zero be dead, x probably won't be in any more games and they obviously aren't going to start making new stuff from the old storyline...
now it's exe and zx and .. starsomething or other...
